That's a valid point. But what if my query is something like this
--------- some logic
--------- some logic
where empid=(select empid from #emp where deptid=2)
The objective of the query is to execute the logic for each empid.

You can execute the logic for sets of employees in the department instead of for each empid.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
